All language subtitles for MasterChef - 04x17 - Top 7 Compete.LOL

Last time, on MasterChef...

The contestants took
to the great outdoors

for the most extreme
team challenge ever.

We will be spending the night here.

And I got to cook too?

It was a culinary fight for survival.

And when the red team
came out on top...

Absolutely phenomenal.

...the blue team headed
into a pressure test...

A chocolate eclair.

And Bri was eliminated.

The hardest part is realizing
that you have to say good-Bye.

I'll come visit you in Lancaster.

Tonight...

- Oh, my god!
- What?

That's right... your families.

It's a mystery box

packed with emotional ingredients.

Cook a dish inspired
by your loved ones.

Best Mystery box ever.

And then...

Switch!

A tag-Team challenge

pushes the home cooks
to their limits.

Use your hands!

Take it off.
Don't ask me, just do it.

Come on!
I would rather do this by myself.

As another top contender...

There's no room to mess up.

Says good night
to their MasterChef dreams.

If I hand this to you
right now, will you eat it?

Magnificent seven...

It's definitely a humbling experience

to see so few people around me.

There is this huge box.

Come on down, guys.

It doesn't mean anything,

because last time, the huge box,

there was, like, 5-Feet Eva Longoria.

Welcome back, everyone.

Now, this is the biggest
culinary competition

on the planet.

One of you will leave
here $1/4 million richer,

publish your very own cookbook,

and, most importantly, one of you

will win the coveted
title of MasterChef.

Okay, are you ready for
your next mystery box challenge?

So the box starts going up,

and I see a bunch of feet.

I really hope
it's not past contestants.

I want people
to keep going home.

I don't want more
people to come back.

Oh, my god!

What?
Are you kidding me?

Aah!

That's my wife.

Holy cow.

That's right.
Your families have flown in

from all across America.

All of you have
been away from your loved ones

for months on end.

We thought you could
enjoy an extra level of encouragement

from the ones that
mean the most to you all.

All these people standing
in front of you are so proud

of each and every
one of you getting this far.

it's been months
since I've seen my son.

By far, best mystery box ever.

Natasha, your husband, Robert,

and your son, Diego, are here.

Hi. It's mama.

Hi. Hi.

Jordan, all the way
from the Black Hills

of South Dakota,

it is your Dad, Russ.

Oh, man.

Seeing my dad makes me tear up.

Once my mom passed away,

my dad took
on all the emotional roles,

and he's constantly telling me
how proud he is of me.

Jessie, your mom
and dad have flown in

from your hometown
of social circle, Georgia,

to give you their support.

How's cooking without Jessie around?

We miss our baby.

Why don't you go over
and give her a big kiss?

Oh, baby.

Luca, it's your gorgeous wife, Kate.

Kate, how did you guys meet?

Uh, he hired me as a waitress.

It was my second day in the city.

And was it love at first sight?

No, he tried
to fire me two weeks later.

He tried to fire you?

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Please, go and spend
some valuable time with him.

Put him out of his misery.

You look so beautiful.

I love you.

You look so beautiful.

Eddie, it's your girlfriend, Melissa.

James, your fiancee, Jessica,

came from Houston,
Texas, to see you.

Yeah.

James told us that
you postponed your wedding

for James to come here
and compete in this competition.

- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.

- You believe in him?
- I do.

- Want to go say hi to him?
- I do.

Please.

I've missed you so much.

I love you.

I'm looking,

and I don't see anybody for me.

Why is everybody's
family here except for mine?

Krissi, the one person you would want

to be here right now,
your son, couldn't make it.

Because he couldn't
be here, he recorded you

a very special message.

Now, you okay?

Okay.

Hey, mom, I love and miss you,

and I really do know
that you wish I could be out there,

but I have my state
standardized testings

that I always get... important.

And you have nothing to worry about.

has the whole place

pretty much intact.

Nothing's burnt down, nobody's dead.

Bless him.

I'm gonna see you at the finale.

I miss your food too much.

I love you!

How cool is that, huh?

He wants to see you in the finale.

Yeah.

My heart's definitely
hurting for Krissi at this point,

when she, you know,
doesn't have her son,

because I can understand that hurt.

So it was hard to watch it.

Okay, please, all the families,
head up to the gallery

to watch your loved
ones do what they do best...

Cooking.

We've brought you a taste of home

for a reason.

For this mystery box challenge,

we want you to cook
a dish inspired by your loved ones...

something that just
reminds you of them.

You'll each go into the pantry
with your empty mystery box

and can bring back up to 15 items.

Using those items,
along with the staple pantry box,

you'll have just one
hour to cook an amazing dish.

Right.

You've all got 60 minutes

to cook us something amazing

inspired by all of them.

Your 60 minutes...

starts...

Now

Today is a blank canvas.

We get to go in the pantry
and grab whatever we want.

My mom died five years ago,

and I've grown so close to my dad.

And seeing my dad like this,

it's that extra kick in the ass

to keep humming along

and keep fighting for your apron.

It's been extremely
challenging to put aside my family

and focus on
something other than them.

So I'm ready to cook
from the heart on this one.

We've been together
for six years, a long time,

and, you know,
she actually entered me

into this competition.

So, you know, if it wasn't for her,

I wouldn't be here right now.

Got all our fingers crossed
today here at Krissi's station...

Me and Mikey.

- Right, Natasha, how you feeling?
- I'm good, chef.

Unfortunately, I forgot
my chicken stock for my curry,

so I'm making a vegetable stock,

just trying to get that going.

Natasha, you had
15 ingredients to pick up...

- Yep.
- And you forgot the stock?

I think that, in the end,

the result is gonna be phenomenal.

I mean, I'm incorporating
a lot of flavors.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

Luca, what's the dish?

Caul fat halibut

on top of this
white asparagus risotto.

What is it with you and risotto?

'cause it's my wife's favorite dish.

That's very intense.
Be careful with that.

Thank you, Joe.

To Luca, MasterChef
is a huge opportunity.

He wants to open
his own restaurant one day,

so this is a huge deal for us.

The idea of my parents
above watching on the balcony

is a little nerve-wracking,
'cause my mom and dad

are kind of my biggest critics.

So I can just picture them,

"Eh, do this. Add more of this."

- What about that green stuff.
- What about the green stuff?

Like, just nitpicking me to death.

She put more of those in.

Because it's so sour.

Hmm, I wonder what that is.

What about your puree?

Do you want to do your puree?

She must not like it.

She's looking good.

It looks like she's making duck,

which is one of our
favorite things to have.

She is a tough and determined girl,

and I think she's
really focused on this,

and she wants to
do this for full-time

the rest of her life
and fulfill her passion.

- Hey, chef.
- What are you making?

I'm gonna do a
curried butternut squash soup

with an apple salsa on top

with a chip that
I make with hazelnuts.

Just think of how proud
your father would be

- if you did win this competition...
- Oh, man.

- That coveted title.
- Right.

Who would you dedicate that book to?

That book would be in my mom's name.

- Good. Good luck.
- Thank you, chef.

All right, guys,
less than ten minutes to go.

- Some good smells out there.
- Yeah, it's amazing.

I mean, I just love the energy.

So, Natasha... I mean, she's doing, like,

a Thai green curry, vegetarian.

It's not the kind
of food she usually makes...

Asian spiced curries.

I think that Luca really is gonna show

his journey on MasterChef
with this caul fat-wrapped halibut.

I mean, knowing how passionate he is,

it's gonna be a love
note to his wife on a plate.

Right, and Krissi?
What's she doing?

Krissi's doing Mikey's favorite dish...

Pasta fagioli,
which would be a tomato broth

with fagioli,
which are beans, and pasta.

It seems like
a typical Mikey lunch or dinner.

She says that she's gonna elevate it.

The plating
and the flavor is restaurant style,

really incorporating
all the things she's learned.

Last 60 seconds.
Come on.

Perhaps one of the most emotional

mystery box challenges ever.

It's time to shine.

Ten...

Nine...

Eight, seven...

six, five, four...

three, two, one.

And stop.

It's time to shine.
Come on.

In this mystery box challenge,

the contestants' families

have been invited
to the MasterChef kitchen...

- Ten. - ...to help inspire
the remaining home cooks

transform a family-favorite dish

into a restaurant-quality plate.

Three, two, one.

And stop!

Well done.

Throughout the mystery box challenge,

the judges taste elements
of all the home cooks' dishes

as they come together.

They now take one last look

to choose the top three standouts,

and the winner will receive
a major advantage

in the next round.

There were three dishes in particular

that really stood out.

The first dish
we want to bring forward

is a dish made with a lot of love.

Please step forward...

Natasha.

I need to get rid of Natasha.

She wants this
more than anybody else...

besides Luca.

Tell me what the dish is.

So, basically, I've got long-grain rice.

It's infused with
a little bit of shredded coconut,

and then I did a homemade
green curry sauce.

- And the corn is underneath the rice?
- Yes.

Tell me about the corn.

It's roasted, and then I've got

a little bit of shrimp paste in it,

a little bit of olive oil,
some garlic, some ginger,

and just kind of let it
marinate a little bit in there.

Could Diego eat something this spicy?

He definitely
does eat his vegetables.

He's a big boy.

Great flavor.

So judiciously spiced.

Light, assertive.

The rice is fluffy.

The corn is, like,
a nontraditional addition,

but one that's intelligent.

It adds a texture and a sweetness.

I think it's really Good.
Congratulations.

Thanks so much.

So what's in the rice?
Is it Jasmine or...

- It's long-grain rice.
- Long-grain? Okay.

And then it's got just a little bit

of unsweetened coconut in there

and a little bit of coconut milk

and a little bit of water.

It's beautifully balanced.

I think it's one of your best yet.

You won one mystery box,

and you might be
on your way to winning another.

Good job.

Thank you so much.

Um, it's delicious.

Yeah, it's sweet, it's spicy,
it's creamy.

Rice... fluffy, fragrant.

But it's feisty.

So it's a bit like you, really.

Robert, you should
come back more often,

if that's what kind of inspiration

it gives your wife.

Um, really well done.

- Great job.
- Thank you so much.

The second dish

that we would like
to take a look at further...

This dish might be

a family favorite,

but this home cook elevated it

to a completely new world.

Step forward...

- Jessie.
- Yes.

Yes, yes, ooh!

Wow. Look at that.

Explain the dish to me, please.

All right, we love duck in our family,

so I seared the duck breast.

We also have blackberries in Georgia,

so I made a blackberry,
red wine reduction.

Underneath that, we've got a layer

of roasted brussels sprouts
with a little bit of pancetta.

And then got to use
the pecans, from Georgia.

Wow, good.

Flavor of the duck...
It's delicious.

The acidity from the blackberry

completely complements that richness.

Mom, dad, what do you think?

She's got a
lot of tricks up her sleeve.

So she's improved
since she's come here?

Uh-huh.

Probably the best dish

that you've made
so far in the competition.

- Good job.
- Thank you so much.

Presentation-wise,

the dish is definitely

restaurant quality, let me tell you.

Yeah, it's cooked beautifully.

It's pink.

The fat's rendered down beautiful,
but that flavor

of the sort of gaminess
has become mellow.

The acidity of the fruit

has made it work,
and then that charm

with the sprouts and the rice.

You've done your parents proud.

And, yeah, great job.
Well done.

Thank you so much.

The third and final dish

that we'd like
to look even closer at,

this individual,
they stuck to their roots.

Congratulations...

Luca.

Yes!

Ha ha!

it would be the best
thing if I win the mystery box

with this super classic italian dish

and my wife in the balcony.

First of all, look at that smile

on your wife's face.

Describe the dish, please.

It's a pan-seared halibut,

which I wrapped in caul fat,

served on a bed
of white asparagus risotto.

You're starting to think like a chef.

It's glistening...
Beautiful color on the top.

And it's seared
beautifully on the bottom as well.

Two highly skilled bits there.

The risotto, nailed beautifully

without going crazy.

Asparagus, lovely garnish.

But the freshness
of that mint, you know,

only a crazy Italian
could think of that,

and that's you.

Well done.

So this is very typical
from where you come from, no?

Yeah.

The risotto is
perfectly cooked, delicious.

Thank you.

We asked for a
restaurant dish that was inspired

by the love of your life.

You delivered it.

Awesome.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I love you.

Wow.

Three outstanding dishes,
but as you know,

only one dish tonight
can be the winner

for that huge advantage.

One dish

just had the edge.

Showing great finesse,

amazing restraint,

this dish was paying tribute

to the loved ones.

The person
who cooked the best dish...

Congratulations...

In tonight's family
mystery box challenge,

the top three dishes have
been tasted by the judges:

Natasha's green curry,

Jessie's duck,

and Luca's halibut risotto.

As you know,

only one dish
tonight can be the winner.

The person
who cooked the best dish...

Luca.

Well done.

Before we go into the pantry,

family, loved ones,

please make your way down

and say good-bye.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Hi, sexy.

- Kills me to see him win.
- Yeah.

Wish your loved ones luck...

'cause they're gonna need it.

Bye-bye.

Bye, babe.

Wow. Let's go.

Ah, good job.

Um, really well done.

Bravo.

Man,
I can't believe Luca got the "W."

- He's gonna try to [bleep]
me over bad... - I know it.

But didn't you get
along on your last thing?

Yeah, but he still wants me gone.

It doesn't mean that
we like each other or whatever.

You won't be choosing

what everyone is cooking
in the upcoming challenge.

We've already done that.

But don't worry...
You will still have

some very, very important
decisions to make.

Are you ready
to see what everybody out there

will be cooking in
tonight's elimination challenge?

Ready.

It is one of the most composed,

beautiful, elegant cuisines

on the planet.

The cuisine of...

Sushi.

Japan.

Look at this beautiful plate

of Japanese favorites...

Shrimp and vegetable tempura,

alaskan King Crab California roll,

ebi sushi,

uni sushi,

ahi sushi,

Salmon Roe sushi,

and mackerel sushi.

Because you won the mystery
box challenge, you will not have

to compete for this elimination.

Congratulations.

You are now one of the final six

in this competition.

You're about to make a decision

that could change

the game, big-time.

In tonight's elimination challenge,

your competitors will be
split into three teams of two.

You get to decide
which home cooks

will have to work together

to replicate this stunning plate

of Japanese delicacies.

You have some very
big decisions to make, Luca.

The judges and I
walk out of the pantry,

and this is the best feeling

when everybody's watching
me going up to the balcony...

Is he safe?

Ah.

- Because I'm safe.
- Darn.

Hi, guys.
How you doing?

Please come
and join us down in the front.

Luca is safe from elimination.

Congratulations.

Top six there for him automatically.

Do you want to say
"congratulations" to him?

No. All right.

Luca doesn't like me,

but, also,
I think he's a little bit worried

about my ability.

I 100% think that
Luca is totally gunning

to get me out today.

Tonight you will all have to cook...

Sushi.

A beautiful plate
of Japanese classics.

Take a good look at it.

We want you to match that perfectly.

So, Krissi, what are you thinking?

Sushi is disgusting.

Now I have to work
with something that makes me sick.

It's gonna be rough.

I might be going home today.

I know that
plate looks very daunting,

but here's the good news.

You are not cooking alone tonight.

There's six of you.

You'll be in three teams of two.

And the bad news is

that Luca got to choose the teams.

This is a huge advantage.

I can really focus on somebody

and knock them
out of the competition.

Depending on who my partner is,

I think I would
rather do this by myself.

Luca has chosen the teams

that he thinks could send
his biggest competitor home.

Let's start on the right.

James...

Tonight who is going

to be cooking and preparing sushi

with James?

I'm giving him someone very strong.

Jordan.

Jordan, please go
stand with James, your teammate.

Are you kidding me?
I'm with James today?

Boo-Yah.
I'm feeling good.

This is a cakewalk.

- This is exciting.
- What do you think?

We'll see you
in the next round, Luca.

Wow. You're that confident, Jordan?

I'm not too sure
why he gave us a free pass.

There's got to be
an ulterior motive.

The one individual you want
to see go home tonight is who?

Natasha.

So who are you pairing Natasha with?

Krissi.

Krissi, please stand with Natasha.

Wow.

Natasha, how do you feel?

We are the top seven,
and I'm pretty sure

Krissi knows how to make rice,

and she knows how
to make tempura batter,

so he made himself
a stupid decision, but...

Doesn't that make you stronger?

Absolutely, just makes
me want to win this.

Natasha eats sushi.

I know she knows
how to make sushi.

Whatever she tells me to do,
I'm gonna do it.

I'm seeing myself
as a direct extension of Natasha.

The only asset
that I'm gonna bring

is cutting up vegetables
and filleting that fish.

So that obviously
leaves Jessie and Eddie.

Jessie, how do you feel?

I'm excited.
I think we've got a great team.

Eddie?

I feel good.

Okay, you may
be working as a team,

but you will not
be working together.

This is a tag-team challenge.

One of you will cook first,

then when we shout "switch,"

you'll trade positions.

Each team

will have 60 minutes to replicate

that stunning plate of Japanese classics.

Please head to your stations.

Your 60 minutes...

starts...

Now!

Start washing that.

Oh, you already know, bro.

Get the rice going first.
Take that rice, and you rinse it.

Are you on the same page with me?

Is we're gonna
make pretty much two rolls,

one California roll
and one just rice roll.

Okay.

The first thing you got to do,

you got to rinse,
remove the starch from the rice,

and then get that in the steamer.

- Is that it?
- What does it say?

- It says "rice".
- Good.

From there, the big preparation

would then be the tempura,
get the batter made.

It has to sit, yep.

'Cause everything else

is knife work at the end,
which is very, very technical.

We got to work a little faster.

Yep.

What do you think of the teams?

Some of the smartest
team picks that we've seen.

Have you seen
the determination in Natasha's eyes?

She's just steely-eyed.

Neither one of us
are going home today.

So Luca can go [bleep] himself.

You think that Jordan
and James are the dream team.

Hustle, work fast.

You got two huge egos...

that does not play in the sushi game.

It's about discipline.

It's about technique.

Start peeling shrimp.

I think their egos
may get in the way.

Don't cut 'em too thick down there,

because we have to butterfly them out.

Butterfly from the top.

No, no.

Don't piddle around with it.

Eddie, you may want
to put it in a strainer

and just keep rinsing it.

Yeah, yeah,
I need to get the strainer.

It's in your drawer.

I don't think Eddie's got
a clue on how to make sushi.

What about Jessie?

Do you think she's strong
enough to carry him?

I don't think Jessie's
got much of an idea either.

Maybe we should
cook it first 'cause it's...

That's what I was wondering too.

Do you blanche these things?

No one else is doing that yet.

But they may be wrong.

20 seconds.

Guys, when Gordon yells "switch,"

you will drop everything

and move to your new stations.

Three, two, one...

Switch!

The big elephant in the room tonight

is the live sea urchins,
because it's so delicate.

You start washing those things

and destroy the flavor.

- Yeah, and you don't want
to wash any of that off. - Cut.

There you go.

Get that beautiful
bastard out of there.

Oh, there's a few in here.

Hell, yeah.

I got a nice piece right here.

- A beautiful piece?
- Great.

You should be
using the back of a spoon

so it doesn't break
down with your fingernails.

Chef, what's the white stuff in this uni?

Never wash uni!

Never.
No, come on, Jordan!

All right, my bad, my bad.

Switch.

In tonight's elimination test,

Luca has selected the three teams

that must each create
a platter of Japanese cuisine.

- You should be using
the back of a spoon... - Okay.

So it doesn't break
down with your fingernails.

It's proving to be their
most difficult challenge yet.

Chef, what's the
white stuff in this uni?

Never wash uni!
Never, no. Come on, Jordan!

My bad, my bad.
You've only got two.

I have some
of this beautiful juice still.

Never wash sea urchin.

You got it, chef.

Come on, guys.
Lift it. Let's go.

With Japanese cuisine,
there's nothing to hide behind.

It's a piece of fish on top of rice

with a little bit of wasabi.

Ten seconds before we switch.

- Tell me what you're gonna do.
- I'm gonna do the tuna...

Five,

four,

- three.
- Clean up that mackerel.

Two, one, switch!

Okay.

20 minutes left.

Speed up, guys. Come on!

Is it up to temp?

Yeah, it's ready to rock.

Okay.

- No skin on the tuna, correct?
- No.

- No?
- Okay.

How about the tempura?
You're not worried about that?

The batter's done...
We need to get that fish going.

Don't you think Krissi
would be the best one

to fry the tempura?

- I am confident with
her level on fish. - Right.

I mean, if I have to take over,
I will as well,

but I think she's gonna be okay.

To cut the fish?

- Yep.
- Hmm.

Krissi, you got to make sure that you get

just a nice clean cut through that.

Yeah, I just need to see
where the grains are going.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

Real thin, more bias.
Real thin, more bias.

- How's it coming, guys?
- Going all right.

- Yeah, all right or good?
- Uh, all right.

Five, four...

Oh, this is a tough challenge.

- Were you as far ahead
as you thought you would be? - No.

Switch! Come on!

Let's go!

Go, go, go, go.

Let's go.

- Joe, what do you think?
- I think that Natasha

is really commanding her team.

She's very well organized,

and I think that Krissi

is being very subservient
and taking direction very well.

Yeah.

Watching Natasha in this situation,

I have a newfound respect

for her desire
to win this competition.

Hunger.

Stir faster.

I'm so surprised...
I thought James and Jordan

would've been so
much further ahead of the pack,

and they're not
so far ahead of everybody else.

These still are gonna
be a little funky.

I don't know how they did it.

The big jeopardy
for me tonight is Eddie.

He looks like, you know,
a deer in the headlights.

And I don't think Jessie's
gonna be that strong to coach him...

I agree.

With something that
she doesn't know fully either.

90 seconds to go before the switch.

I got the roll.
Don't worry.

It's simple.
Don't you worry.

Well, that's the thing
I know how to make.

- We need how many of these...
four total? - Yeah.

Preparing to switch, guys...

In five, four,

three,

two, one, switch.

You got to go.
Get the tempura going.

As soon as you're done with that rice,

- drop the veggies.
- Okay.

I need you to cut the avocado.

- It's right there in front of you.
- Okay, okay, okay.

- We forgot the tuna.
- All right.

No, don't...
You don't do the tuna.

I'll do it.
You finish the vegetables.

- Awesome.
- Awesome?

Salt 'em, salt 'em. Over here...

Salt's right by the sink.

Please just cut the avocado now.

I am.

Oh, the shrimp is right behind you.

Hold it, hold, hold.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Pull those, pull those
and put them on the tray.

Your next switch is your last switch.

Put extra in there.

You need a safety net.

Jordan, Jessie, Natasha,

make sure you're talking to them

and telling them what
they need to get done.

If you can get the shrimp done too,

you got to fly, Buddy.
You got to fly.

- I'm flying as fast as I can.
- A little too much rice.

We might see platters
that are half done,

maybe not even half done.

It's not looking good.

Good? Good?

Yes, it's perfect. Take it off.

Take it off!
Don't ask me. Just do it.

Okay, it's fine, we'll get it.

It's stuck, Natasha.

- This shrimp looks like...
- That's fine.

- That doesn't matter about looks.
We just need... - It does matter.

It does matter kind of a little bit.

Two, one, switch!

It should be done.

The vegetables should be done.

For the final time, come on.

Final round, final five minutes!

- Let's go.
- Five minutes!

Come on, come on,
come on, baby, come on.

You're doing good.
You're doing good.

Be easy with it.
There you go.

You can do it, brother.

Where's the shrimp?
Both here? Holy...

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, dude.

They're falling apart on us.

Put 'em up anyway.
Move on to the roll.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Butchered.

Go, brother, go.
Keep going, keep going.

Come on, come on, come on.
Push, push, push, push.

Put those things
on the plate, Natasha.

Honey, honey, hold on.

Neither of us are
going home today, right?

No way. Make it happen.
You got 90 seconds, brother.

Come on.

Keep going, brother. Keep going!

Get the wasabi on the plate

and get the grated daikon on the plate.

Let's go, guys, come on.

Pickled onions... Whoo!

You've got this, Jordan. Come on.

Last 60 seconds. Come on!

Presentation is key.

Last two minutes.

Look at the speed of Natasha.

Give encouragement, come on, guys.

Make it tight. Make it tight.

Where's the daikon?

The daikon was right there.
Check right behind you.

Where's... Where's...
Where's the thing?

Right here, right here, right here.

- There you go.
- Come on! Jessie, speed up, please.

Let's go.

Yeah.

30 seconds to go.

Let's go, come on.

Sushi, a California roll,

tempura, sauces, garnishes.

20 seconds to go!

Come on.

Get that.

Come on!

Keep going, keep going.

Come on, Jessie!
Get it on the plate!

- Oh, my gosh.
- 15 seconds to go!

One more, Natasha.
Do one more.

Wake up, Jordan. Wasabi.

James, push him!

You can do this, brother.
Come on!

Make sure it's neat.
Make sure it's neat.

Ten, nine...

- eight, eight...
- We got this.

- We're only missing one piece.
- Seven, six...

Come on, come on, come on.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

And stop!

Come on!

Let's go. Go.

15 seconds to go!

Come on, come on. Come on!

Come on, Jessie, get it on the plate!

Oh, my gosh.

Ten, nine...

We got this...
We're only missing one piece.

- Seven...
- Everything else is there.

- Six, five...
- Come on, come on, come on.

Four, three,

two, one.

And stop!

You did it.

Hands in the air.

We got it.

Let's start with the front row, please.

Natasha, Krissi, let's go.

Natasha made that roll
in less than a minute and a half.

Maybe we don't have
all of the components on the plate.

But everything looks good,
and I'm trusting her.

Who plated that?

- Natasha.
- I did.

Visually, it looks beautiful.

The roll...
Who made the roll?

I did.

A nice balance of color.

Who seasoned the rice?

Uh, I made the seasoning for the rice.

The rice is cooked perfectly.

Right.
Who made the batter?

I did, chef.

The secret, really,
is to take out the basket,

get the vegetables, dust them,

put them all in to your batter,

drain off the batter
and literally throw them all in

at the same time.

Stir them around so they don't stick.

I'm amazed you
actually got it together

with literally three minutes to go,

because at 2 minutes
and 50 seconds,

there was nothing on your platter.

I've always said
it's not how you start

these challenges...
It's how you finish.

I didn't expect you to bring
that together the way you did.

So it's not perfect,
but it's a bloody good effort.

Well done.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Well done.

Everything that you have on the plate

looks like it's done the way
that it should be done.

I just need to know, though,

are you guys taking 50/50
ownership of this plate?

Yeah.

Thank you.

So, Luca, did you sink Natasha

with the Krissi anchor?

Is that what happened?

Yeah, maybe not.

I don't think so.

Can you see the cut on the fish?

Yeah, the cut
on the fish is beautiful.

I certainly gained
a new respect for Natasha

and how much she wants
to win this competition.

Anything you want to say to Luca?

I'm coming for you.
You're my next target.

Thanks.

She got everything on the plate,

and it looks good.

And honestly, she saved me.

Okay, James and Jordan,
come on down.

Don't drop it.

- Who cut this?
- I did.

Very nice.

Is it your understanding
that Japanese people

do not use salt in their cuisine?

Taste this.

If that has a grain of salt on it,
I'm a monkey's uncle.

That one we did it second
and didn't salt.

And it's the same reason

you didn't put any salt on the rice?

- Definitely not enough.
- Not even close.

What happened to these shrimps?

They look like... whoo.

They've seen better days.

There was some debate between us

on how to cook the shrimp.

So you decided just to step on them?

Yeah, right.

They're raw.

It's just...
I'm amazed they're laughing.

Because, honestly,
I mean, if anybody

remotely respectful
to Japanese cuisine

giggle and laughing like two
[bleep] stupid teenagers...

Get a grip, guys.

I would be [bleep] embarrassed.

I'm disappointed

even in what I know
of you guys as cooks.

Certainly the two of you could
have done better than this.

Visually, the roll looks lovely.

You've got a nice even cut.

What I'm seriously embarrassed with

is this here.

I mean, I just...

You know, guys,
I think of what you've done

and how far you've
come in this competition.

For you two to present that,

yeah, raw, badly split, curled.

I just don't expect any of you

at this stage in this
competition to panic.

It's embarrassing.

The roll looks delicious.

But it's just bland.
It needs seasonings.

Ah, excuse me.

That's what happens
when you don't degorge an eggplant.

They're bitter.
They're bitter as hell.

They're bitter.
So you know all this stuff.

Disappointing.

Damn it.

Next up, please,
Jessie and Eddie.

This is by far
the hardest challenge.

And walking up,
I knew we were gonna get chewed out.

So who, between the two of you,

had the most experience with sushi?

- I've made it before.
- You have?

And you've never made it.

I never made it,
but I eat it at least twice a week.

What happened to the uni here?

It's about getting it out

but also making sure that it's cleaned

the right way.

To have this coming out,

that's kind of like
part of the inside tract

of the actual sea urchin.

It's not what
you're looking for to eat.

Who did the fish butchery?

- I did.
- You did.

It's kind of torn apart.

And the rice...
Who cooked it?

I cooked the rice.

It's very overpowered with the vinegar.

It's a very tart rice.

Who do you feel

really put more energy

into the dish?

I honestly think that it was 50/50.

100%.

50/50? It was 50/50.

Do you feel the same thing?

I do.

Okay, thanks.

So you're saying that you guys

are equally responsible

for the success or failure of this plate?

Yes, sir.

And that's what you believe?

100%.

I don't agree.

This is gross.

You gave this uni for us three to eat?

If I hand this to you right now,

will you eat it?

I'm asking you, will you eat this?

You gave this uni for us three to eat.

If I hand this to you right now,

will you eat it?

I'm asking you, will you eat this?

No.

That's interesting.

If I go home, I ain't got nothing

to hold my head down about.

Went out on something...
I had no idea how to make it.

It comes down to the disrespect.

- But no one's communicating.
- Mm-Mm.

Guess we shouldn't
have been high-fiving.

How can you miss all
the wasabi in all that rice?

If you don't make the rice right,

it's like the foundation
of the whole platter.

Everything was wrong.

Yeah.

Back when there was 20 of us,

you know there's, like, a good eight

that don't even deserve to be here,

so you had leeway to mess up.

But now there's no room for error.

This is a very tough decision.

The first pair

that are safe...

Congratulations...

Krissi and Natasha.

Luca tried to take Natasha out
and me along with her,

and watch out for the moms...
We're fierce.

Natasha, you just put in

an extraordinary 60 minutes of work.

Krissi, for the first time
in this competition,

that's the most humble

and the most dedicated
you've ever been.

Both of you, well done.

Please join Luca

on the gallery.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Luca's my number one target
right now...number one.

And now it comes down

to you two teams...

Eddie, Jessie, James and Jordan.

The next safe team is...

James and Jordan.

Ooh.

The technical ability

on the way you filleted the fish...

That's what got you through.

Please make your way up
to the balcony.

Jessie and Eddie...

Please make your way
down to the front.

The person who will be leaving us

really failed to identify
with the fundamentals

of what we were looking for
in this challenge.

The flavors, the respect for product

was disregarded
completely by this person.

The person...

leaving MasterChef tonight...

Eddie.

Jessie,
make your way up to the balcony.

Bye.

Eddie,

tenacious,

ex-NFLer, personal trainer,

but a serious foodie.

Tonight the sushi
got the better of you.

And for the first time
in this competition,

you looked completely lost.

However, you found your calling.

Food is now

gonna be close to you
for the rest of your life.

You continue that dream
for that gastropub,

because you are a phenomenal cook.

It's been an absolute pleasure.

Come say good bye.

Right, six left up there.

Eddie, seriously, in your mind,

who is gonna win MasterChef?

I think this person
has a lot of heart,

and they're starting
to show it, so...

I think Natasha is gonna win.

- Take care, man.
- All right, brother. All right.

I came to MasterChef to compete.

I just think about how far I've come.

I have nothing
to hold my head down about.

I always said
that football and cooking

is two of the things
that I love to do,

and I was able to achieve football

on the highest level
that you could possibly imagine,

and now in my mind,
I feel like I've achieved food

on the highest level
you could possibly imagine.

It is absolutely delicious.

Thank you.

Learning so much from
the best chefs in the world

is just like some
of the best coaches that I've had.

Congratulations, Eddie.

So I'm very privileged
and humbled at the same time

and use this experience
to move forward

and be successful
like I know I'm gonna be.

- Love you, Eddie.
- Love you, Eddie.

Next time on MasterChef...

there's a game changing twist.

You will not be cooking.

Please welcome back Lynn.

Bri.
Bime!

Oh, are you kidding me?

It's a night of second chances,

as one of these fallen home cooks...

It's raw.

...will win their way back into
the MasterChef kitchen.

Nothing is going to stand in my way

of getting that white apron.

I wanted a shot to redeem myself.

I'm gonna knock it out of the park.

The person coming back is...
